Quote-control checklist

What to validate before accepting a quote

  1. Match the identity.Use the full 13-digit NSN and verify the NIIN and item name.
  2. Read the current requirement.Confirm the specification revision, amendments, approved-source or QPL provisions, and inspection clauses.
  3. Validate the pack.Check unit of issue, net contents, container type, preservation, packing, and MIL-STD-129 marking.
  4. Confirm documentation.State SDS, COA, lot traceability, certificate, test report, or source-document requirements in the RFQ.
  5. Review transportation.Validate proper shipping name, UN number, hazard class, packing group, and destination constraints where applicable.
Procurement questions

FSC 6850 sourcing FAQ

Does an FSC 6850 classification identify the exact item?

No. FSC 6850 identifies a supply class. The full 13-digit NSN identifies the catalogued item, and the current solicitation controls the contractual requirement.

Can a commercial product name be used instead of the NSN?

Not safely for contract acceptance. Similar names can represent different grades, packs, specifications, qualification requirements, or approved sources. Quote with the exact NSN and requirement documents.

What should an FSC 6850 RFQ include?

Include the NSN, quantity, required delivery date, ship-to location, solicitation or purchase-order reference, pack and marking requirements, and every required SDS, COA, traceability, certification, or inspection document.
